Executive Overview

Learn how to create a successful Lean program and what is required by Leadership to achieve a successful program. The goal of a Leadership briefing (or training) is alignment of training and company goals.

A Leadership briefing is strategic in nature (leadership, culture, style, communication) and tactical (an overview of Lean principles as they apply to your product and industry); the briefing prepares management for its role in the Lean deployment and helps us develop an overall strategy with leadership to bring about a successful implementation.

Lean Concepts/Tools and Lean Value

Effective Leadership training will inform management that Lean is not about point solutions; rather, it is a sustainable philosophy to improve the characteristics and performance of what a customer perceives as value. Value is defined by the customer and a strategic component of the training will emphasize how to link Power One’s Lean programs with customer value.

The challenge most companies confront when first starting their “Lean journey” is how to align the use of Lean tools and principles to achieve sustainable outcomes with company goals and objectives. Proper alignment results in better performance witnessed by the customer, whether they are an end user, a supply chain member, a shareholder, or internal customer.

All employee’s activities are tied to the goal of meeting the customer’s definition of value.
